The Venezuelan bandARENA is the hybrid configuration of Afro-Caribbean sounds, Iberian odours and Latin-American colours expressed trough six musicians with a shared passion for warm and contagious music styles such as Salsa, Flamenco, Cuban Son, Timba, Rumba Española and Latino-jazz.
The band was formed eight years ago by the inseparable duo of Leonardo Gil Beroes and Román Gerdel Esculpi; lead and second voices, rhythm and solo-guitarists and responsible for the songs.
In ARENA he plays lead/solo-guitar, handles the guitar- synthesizer which adds incredible possibilities to the groups sound, sings second voice and is musical-director from the start in 1990.
Neo-progressive was an effort to fuse the complex structures and sounds of progressive rock of the 1970s (e.g., Genesis and King Crimson) to 1980s pop music.
Marillion is almost certainly the most popular neo-prog band, peaking in popularity with their albums Misplaced Childhood (1985) and Clutching at Straws (1987).
Following this peak, neo-prog declined as a genre, although these three pioneering bands are still active as of 2004, and several newer groups have worked in the same space in the 1990s and 2000s.
